The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After returning back to the island where Rein and all his lovers were Lan immediately started to tell them the extremely important news that she had managed to learn. It was news related to the demons.

After the spatial rift was destroyed, the remaining few demons had no place to hide anymore. The human true gods were then very confident that they would be able to now finally defeat all demons.

But that did not happen as the demons revealed another powerful treasure called "Nine Segmented Palace". This was a powerful palace type treasure which had one large part and eight smaller parts. All these parts together could create a powerful formation.

This treasure had a very small living area if compared to the spatial rift but now the demons had a smaller population so this treasure was more than enough for all the demons.

The humans had been surrounding this palace and were trying to continuously break through its defence but had not succeeded in doing that as the defence of this palace type treasure was just way too tough.

This was definitely a very important news but still it was not so serious that Lan needed to return back in such a haste. So everyone expected that there was more to this situation and their thinking was right.

Lan then told them that the demons were actually trying to leave this world for some time. They were pushing toward the end border of the world and were planning to stay in the shallow parts of the void some time. This palace type treasure was capable of allowing the demons to live in the void without much trouble.

They were obviously planning to go into hiding for some time to recover their strength and population. Then when the time was right, they would once again return back to the and would sweep through the whole human race. This was a long term and the demons were willing to wait for even millions of years of this to happen.

If they were really successful in getting away, then that would be extremely troublesome for Rein as he needed to defeat the demons to complete his trial. The void, even the outer layer of it was extremely vast.

Even though Rein was also able to travel the void with his abilities, searching for a single group of palaces in the almost endless void was still extremely difficult if not outright impossible. Even Rein would need the favour of the fate to find this palace type item if the demons were actually able to leave this world.

...

After listening to Lan Rein immediately decided to attack the demons again. He wanted to believe that he would be able to find the demons in the shallow parts of the void but he could not be one hundred percent sure. The void was just way too big and if his luck was not with him, he might not be able to encounter the demons in the void at all.

So the best course of action for Rein at this moment was to eradicate the demons as soon as possible. Even though he was not fully healed, he was in a fighting shape. And this time Rein did not need to fight alone as all his lovers had also become stronger than before after going to the extreme experience in the void.

Especially Colinde was most probably even stronger than Rein when fighting against the demons.

So Rein did not waste anymore and time and stood up after struggling a little bit. He then jumped around a little bit to get his muscles working again and finally teleported to the location where the castle of the demons currently was.

...

Five human true gods were participating in the siege of the demon palace. They were attacking the palace from all sides and the defensive formation of the place was able to block most of the attacks without much trouble.

This defensive formation was definitely using a lot of spiritual power from the demon's side and the humans wanted to reduce the demon's spiritual power reserves as much as possible. Obviously they had a lot of spiritual material in reserve but it was still a finite amount.

After attacking them for a few years continuously, the humans had lost all hope in breaking the defense of this palace type treasure. It was just way too strong. They had also understood that the demons were planning to hide in the void for some time and would only return when they had managed to accumulate enough power. That time the human race would be in big trouble.

So obviously the humans did not want that.

But as they were unable to break through the barrier, the next best thing that the humans were able to do was to reduce the supplies of the demons as much as possible so that even if they managed to escape to the void, they would not be able to stay hidden there for long.

Even in the void they needed the barrier to hold on, so they also needed to supply the barrier continuously with spiritual power. To do that, they would need to have enough spiritual materials in stock. So this was not a bad plan that the humans had come up with. But now the situation was going to change.

...

The demons would need just a few more days to get out of the world and into the void. If these irritating humans stopped attacking them, then they would be able to go out even faster but that was most probably not going to happen.

Alcusus was still happy that finally he would be able to cultivate again calmly. And now that insanely powerful human was also gone so the next they would return to this world, the demon race would finally be able to rule over the world.

The will of the world did not betray Alcusus after the spatial rift was destroyed. He was able to find this powerful treasure with the help of the will of the world. And the suggestion to leave the world for some time was also made by it. As the demons would still be able to cultivate in this palace type treasure it was the best option even in Alcusus' mind.

Just as he was relaxing greatly a sense of foreboding washed over him. As soon as that happened, a few human figures suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Many many humans were continuously appearing in the battlefield so the arrival of a few more was not a big deal even if they were all true gods. But the people who had now appeared were different.

Even with the distance between them, Alcusus was able to immediately recognise Rein and his lovers who were responsible for destroying their home. Alcusus was unable to hold back his anger and fear, and shouted -

"REIN !!!"
